things to their advantage in this contest, anG il

fCorrespondence of the Richmond Dispatch.I
LYSCHBURG, February 2, 1887.
The treasurer made public sale at
the market-house yesterday of personal
property for taxes where coupons had
been rendered, amounting to about
81 500. The property was bid in every
instance for an amount sufficient to
cover the taxes by the parties to whom
it belonged. An agent of the bond
holders, from whom most of the cou-
pons used here were obtained. was
present with the usual amount of "pro-
tests" against the sale. Other sales
will take place at q future date.
Many Of the parties who have Of
fered to pay their taxes in coupons
complain now that the protection "
which was promised them by the con-
pom lawyers and brokers fails to pro-
tect them from the annoyance of these
sales, with all that is entailed thereby,
or from a summons to attend a session
of the grand jury, to the neglect of their
business
The coupon injunctions heretofore re-
ferred to in this correspondence as hay
ing been granted by Judge Latham of
the Hastings Court have not yet been
served on the Treasurer for the reason
that many of the parties have not given
the required bond, as well as for the
additional reason that the clerk OF the
court persists in his refusal to accept
coupons in lien Of money for the eXecu-
ton of the writ-tax.

RALEIGH. February 2.-To-day the
railway-commission bill again came up
in the House of Commons. The hall
was packed with people who wished to
hear the debate on this important mes-
sure. Petitions for the passage of the
bill were presented from businessmen
of Durham, Weldon, Wilson, Enfield,
Munroe, and other towns, stating that
the bill was the only tangible relief
against the oppression of railways.
Mr.. Parsons offered an amendment
fixing the salaries of the three com
missioners provided for in the bill at
$4,000 each instead of 81, 800. Many
speeches were made for and against the
bill.
Mr.. Fries moved TO table the bill
An ayes-and-noes vote was taken on
this motion, resulting in its defeat by Il
vote Of % TO 70.
Mr. Pearson moved that the bill be
considered by sections, as it was very
lengthy, and that this would save trou-
bic.
The House voted this motion down,
and at 3 o'clock adjourned.
The bill comes up as unfinished bust
ness tomorrow. 1t is said tonight
that it will pass the House tomorrow
by at least twenty-five majority. One
advocate of the bill said to your cor
respondent that after such a vote by
the House the Senate would not dare to
fail to pass the bill. Some of the OPP
pOnents of the bill claim that it will
not pass tomorrow, saying that Pritch-
ards amendment to leave the selection
of the commissioners to the popular
vote will be defeated, and that this will
antagonize number of Republicans.
A delegation from Beaufort county
arrived here to-day il the interest Of
the proposed county of Richlands, TO
be formed from part Of Beaufort
county.
IMMIGRATION NOTES.
Mr.. John T. Patrick, Commissioner
of immigration. says that at various
places in the North clubs are forming
for the purpose of forming colonies and
coming TO North Carolina. He has Just
received notice of new club of that
character at Wilkesbarre, Pa, with
seventy-eight members. He says that
the number of immigrants this year
will be larger than in any previous
year.
FOUR DOLLARS MINUTE.
at costs Just 81 minute to legislate
for North Carolina, said a member of
the House to-day. 1t is now easy to
figure at what debate costs, and the
taxpayers have perfectly practical
basis to stand upon when they wish to
| growl.
FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS REWARD.
Governor Scales has offered 800 re-
ward for the apprehension of DR.. T. G..
Powell, of Rocky Mount, who shot and
killed young man named Sharpe at
Rocky Mount last November. Sharpe
was son of John J. Sharpe, a Repub-

sons, who were cabin passengers on the
steamship Umbra, which arrived al
Liverpool yesterday from New York,
have sent letter to the Times protest
ling against the manner in which the
smoking-room of that vessel was used
on the trip. The writers say the room
was regular gambling hell, "the
resort of decoyers of the unwary," &c.
One youth, they say, lost all the money
he had by gambling in the smoking
room, and in despair attempted to jump
overheard, and the passengers were
often disturbed at night by profanity
and threats of murder arising from
gambling disputes.
